Here's a futuristic machine gun, or maybe just a regular machine gun of a new design, there's really nothing about it that would require futuristic technology, maybe it fires super-fast or something, I dunno.

More vector art practice, this time a fighter jet belonging to some odd, unheard of county somewhere in the south pacific... on the inside of hollow earth.
I'm happy with it, probably could have used a few more details but otherwise I think it looks presentable.

Been working on a new video of a space laser hitting something, Blender's new flame simulator was used for the flame, which was rendered into a series of PNGs and added as a animated plane for the final scene.

Sound effects are all recorded/edited by me, one is from an old video of a windy day and the explosion is me hitting a glue bottle against the table (it was modified afterwards with audacity.)

Here's my entry for a Christmas themed 3D contest, Blenders internal render engine was used, took 1 hour and 5 seconds to render, some slight modifications were done in Gimp (contrast, glare, border).
I tried to make it photo realistic, I made something similar for last years contest but hadn't entered it, so I thought I'd try re-doing my original concept a bit.

Here's some sprites I made for the game, one space station and a bunch of spaceships, they're a mixture of 3D and 2D editing, they were first modeled in 3D, rendered, then lines and windows were added later in Gimp.

Recently I've been busy trying to make a MMOG, it's not going so well on the programming side. Here's a screenshot of the current login screen, it doesn't do much as of yet and it's not entirely finished as it's lacking a title and such. I used a planet picture I posted previously as a background. You can enter text into the fields, click the buttons and tick the checkbox but other than that it does nothing as of yet.

Here's my most recent Krita painting, a hive of alien insects, I've been messing with this image all day and I'm still not entirely happy with it, I don't think the subject stands out enough, and the lighting is lacking contrast, but I think it's reached a presentable state.
Another thing I don't really like is that the image doesn't give any sense of scale, these look like they could be only inches wide, but my intention was to make them look very large, the size of a small space fighter, I originally had a spaceship in the scene but it threw the composition off and didn't look good, so it's there no longer.

Still having fun with Krita, it would be nice if Gimp had some of Kritas functions, I especially like Kritas color and brush selector you get from right clicking and the selection of brush tools to work with. Another really useful tool is mirroring, it's great for making spaceship concepts.
